This is a video showing a rare case of a baby born with its amniotic sac still intact.

Do you often wonder what it would look like if a baby was born inside its amniotic sac—i mean, that bag of clear fluid inside the womb where the fetus develops and grows?

Most times, the amniotic sac breaks on its own during child birth—this is called “water breaking”. However, in this case, the sac was still completely intact with the baby curled up inside. Pretty amazing and very rare. In fact, this phenomenon occurs only one in every 80,000 births!

And you’re in luck, because there’s actually a video of the incredible moment—and it’s been viewed on Facebook more than five millions times since it was first shared last year.

“Closing the night with a delivery inside the amniotic sac,” reads the post on the Assessoria Mamãe – Instituto maternity clinic page. “Have you ever heard? Amniotic childbirth is when the sac doesn’t break. Beautiful to see huh?”

Beautiful, yes. And also a little strange, I have to admit, but still completely fascinating. Because the sac is transparent, you can actually see the baby hanging out inside with the blue umbilical cord, breathing and moving around. And apparently he’s not in any danger in that tiny enclosed space, because according to the post, he is still getting oxygen through the cord. Plus, the fluid helps cushion him.

The miracle of childbirth never ceases to amaze. A huge thank you to the family for letting us be a part of their child’s incredible birth. Congratulations on the arrival of your big, beautiful, healthy baby!

Wow! How did she do it or how did it happen? Becouse i guess is not easy to push that baby out in the sense that the water breaking helps a lot in delivering of a baby it makes easy flow of the baby. Omg congrats
